To be honest, Polnareff's first thought was to end the call.
After all, he couldn't determine whether Zuke was truly an enemy of Diavolo. What if Diavolo had discovered that he was still alive and was using this thod to lure him out?
"My na isn't important. You're Polnareff, right?"
Zuke had no intention of beating around the bush with Polnareff. He simply wanted to finish the tasks in the JOJO world as soon as possible.
On one hand, he wanted to save more ti to train in the Dragon Ball world. On the other hand, he was eager to see what achievent rewards would be unlocked after completing the second main quest in the JOJO world.
However, his casual tone caused Polnareff, on the other end of the computer, to visibly change his expression.
He had never told Zuke his na, yet Zuke had effortlessly revealed it. This made Polnareff realize that his identity and whereabouts might have been exposed, and he imdiately wanted to end the call.
But just as his finger touched the keyboard, before he could press anything, he heard Zuke's next words through the computer:
"I've spoken with Jotaro Kujo. You're his friend, right? I was the one who killed Dio."
This sentence made Polnareff's finger freeze. He was stunned, never expecting to hear Jotaro Kujo's na again.
Although he had occasionally t with Jotaro after leaving Egypt, they had mostly been apart.
Especially after he began investigating the Italian organization "Passione," it had been years since he last saw Jotaro.
If it weren't for Passione blocking his ans of external communication, Polnareff would have considered asking Jotaro for help, but he never found the opportunity.
Now, Zuke had accurately ntioned Jotaro's na and claid to have killed Dio... This made Polnareff hesitate to cut off the communication:
"Are you telling the truth?"
"I have no reason to lie to you. You've already hacked into this laptop's cara, right? Take a look at Diavolo yourself, and you'll know."
As Zuke spoke, he dragged Diavolo in front of the laptop, positioning his face directly in front of the cara.
"Does he look like he's fine?"
"...Indeed, he looks like he's been violently knocked out."
Polnareff had indeed hacked into the cara of Zuke's laptop. During his ti in hiding, he had studied computer technology extensively, preparing for this very mont.
Now, on his computer screen, Diavolo's unconscious face was clearly displayed.
Polnareff had dealt with many villains using his Stand and knew exactly what soone looked like when they were knocked out—Diavolo's uneasy expression was definitely not that of soone in normal sleep.
Seeing this, Polnareff was starting to believe Zuke's words, but at the sa ti, more questions arose in his mind:
"You knocked out Diavolo and showed him to ... What do you want?"
Zuke had subdued Diavolo, and from the looks of it, Diavolo hadn't even had a chance to resist before being taken down.
Soone with such terrifying strength, after dealing with Diavolo, didn't kill him imdiately but instead used his face to lure Polnareff out... Did Polnareff have sothing he wanted?
"You have the 'Arrow,' right?"
Zuke didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request. He knew Polnareff would agree.
"And it's not just any ordinary 'Arrow,' but the 'Requiem Arrow' that can evolve a Stand. How about I trade this guy for that Arrow?"
This was Zuke's goal. Since the Requiem Arrow was in Polnareff's possession and Zuke had no idea where Polnareff was hiding, this was the only way to make a deal with him.
Hearing Zuke's words, Polnareff finally understood—Zuke was after the Requiem Arrow in his possession.
"The purpose of that Arrow is to kill Diavolo, right? So, if I deliver Diavolo to you, and you give the Arrow, it's a fair deal, isn't it?"
Zuke said with a smile.
"Or, if you're worried that you, as a disabled person, can't finish off Diavolo, I can kill him right now to put your mind at ease."
After saying this, Zuke added:
"But if I kill Diavolo, you'll have to hand over the Requiem Arrow to within a few hours."
Killing Diavolo would an Zuke's main quest was complete, and he would only have a few hours of playti left.
If more than eight hours passed, even if he obtained the Requiem Arrow and evolved his "Black Bird" into "Black Bird Requiem," it would be considered invalid and couldn't be synchronized to the real world.
"Of course, the Arrow in my possession was prepared specifically to kill Diavolo."
Hearing Zuke's words, Polnareff's voice trembled—not out of fear, but excitent. He could finally witness the death of Diavolo, the mastermind behind Italy's largest criminal organization.
"You don't need to bring him to . Just kill him! As long as I can see him die, the Arrow in my possession is yours. I'll hand it over to you imdiately!"
Zuke trusted Polnareff, one of the main characters from Part 3. Once he gave his word, he wouldn't go back on it.
"Then, the deal is settled."
Zuke smiled. He moved the laptop slightly further away, allowing Polnareff to see Diavolo's entire body through the cara.
Then, he kicked Diavolo in the kidney, the intense pain instantly waking him up.
"Ughhhh...!"
Diavolo let out a scream as his kidney was struck. Zuke's strength was not sothing an ordinary person could withstand. Even though he was holding back, the pain was indescribable for Diavolo.
Imdiately realizing his situation, Diavolo gritted his teeth and summoned his Stand without hesitation:
"Damn it... King Crimson!"
The nacing Stand reappeared, ready to erase ti according to Diavolo's will, giving him a chance to escape.
But as soon as King Crimson appeared, before it could even activate its "Epitaph" to predict the future, a fist ca flying toward it.
Boom!
Diavolo's head shattered under Zuke's punch, like a waterlon hit by a heavy object, turning into a bloody ss.
At the sa ti, King Crimson's head also shattered—the Stand and its user share injuries, so as Diavolo's head was destroyed, the Stand's head disappeared as well.
"I won't hold back."
Before King Crimson could fully dissipate, Zuke sneered. His "Black Bird" stepped forward without hesitation, grabbing King Crimson's headless body.
It forcefully shoved the Stand into its shadowy form, emitting a piercing, bone-crushing sound as it devoured the Stand.
